NHL Prospects Whose Rights Are Expiring

As I try to do every year, here is what I could dig up in the way of prospects that need to be signed by their drafting teams or they will either become free agents or re-enter the draft. They are organized by what date their rights expire. Although I'm sure there are some mistakes, a lot of research and time went into this so don't be too harsh. If you spot a mistake or a missed player let me know because having a correct comprehensive list of all prospect rights expiring will be very useful in the very near future.

**If/when a player gets signed, they will be highlighted (ex: Highlight).

**If there is a rumor surrounding a prospect, they will be highlighted (ex: Highlight)

**If a player is confirmed to go unsigned, they will be highlighted (ex: Highlight)

About Me

I'm originally from Merrick, NY and I am currently a junior at St. John's University as a Sports Management major. I have been lucky enough to enjoy the sport of hockey in a very complete way as I have seen it as a fan, a player, a coach, a scout, and as an intern. The knowledge I have gained on the sport is extensive and I am more than happy to share it here on this blog.
